Last month I attended #IWC2026 in Bologna. 🇮🇹 I am very grateful for the opportunity to present my research and to the @wheatinitiative.bsky.social for a travel grant to attend. It was amazing to meet wheat researchers from across the globe! 🌍 First international conference of the PhD ✅ 🎉

This week I participated in @pintofscience.uk to present my research at the @johninnescentre.bsky.social identifying genes important for controlling ageing and protein in wheat.🌾 It was exciting to discuss my science with the public!💬 Thoroughly recommend getting involved in the future!✨ #pint26

Last week I attended #monogram26! It was great to present my PhD project and I really enjoyed co-chairing a session! Had a great time reconnecting with the @monogram-uk.bsky.social community and meeting new cereal researchers ☺️. Til next time! @niab-uk.bsky.social @aabiologists.bsky.social

Two great talks by members of the Borrill group at #Monogram2026 today: Miles Curl telling us about drought tolerance in wheat and @beccatesta.bsky.social investigating the role of NAC3 in senescence in wheat. Great chairing of a whole session by @amy-newell.bsky.social too! Well done all 👍🏼

Enjoyed presenting my PhD research at Slice of Science last month, a great opportunity to practice presenting to a broader audience of scientists in a friendly environment, would recommend! 😊
